One person's senior time. Not a delivery pyramid.
Large firms build pricing around a delivery pyramid. Their fees have to cover partners, principals, managers, senior consultants, and analysts, most of whom the client never speaks to.
A principal-led boutique does not have that overhead. The rate is one person's senior time, billed hourly. The result is consulting at a fraction of a comparable Big-4 fee, not because the work is less rigorous, but because there is no pyramid to feed.
The number is public so a director or VP can see it before the first call.
